DIY Chicken Salad Bar

------------------------ Sponsored Ads -----------------------

Many people do not know this, but chickens love to eat greens too. They provide some nutrients that the chickens need especially for laying nice big eggs. This diy chicken salad bar would be a great addition to any chicken coop.

Most of the materials can be salvaged from in and around the homestead, and you can replace any of them with something else that you have available for your use.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

chicken salad seed mix

3′ deck boards

2′ deck boards

long deck screws

10′ furring strip

1/2″ hardware cloth

flat brackets

small hinges

eyehook

topsoil

jigsaw

cordless drill

tape measure

wire cutters

staple gun/staples

pencil

watering can

Measuring and cutting the boards is very important for this project if you want to be able to build a perfect square frame. The top cover also needs accurate measurements or it will not fit over your frame.

It will take about 7 days before the seeds start sprouting. Just make sure to keep the salad bar well watered and the seeds will grow and be available for your chickens to feed on.
